Why do windows have two panes of glass separated by a layer of air

1 answer:

7 0

Air is a poor conductor of heat. The air trapped between the two panes is a pretty good <em>insulator</em>. It does a lot to prevent heat from flowing through the windows ... keeping heat IN during the Winter, and OUT during the Summer.

a lorry travels 3600m on a test track accelerating constantly at 3m/s squared from standstill. what is the final velocity (3 sig

suter [353]

The final velocity of the truck is found as 146.969 m/s.

Explanation:

As it is stated that the lorry was in standstill position before travelling a distance or covering a distance of 3600 m, the initial velocity is considered as zero. Then, it is stated that the lorry travels with constant acceleration. So we can use the equations of motion to determine the final velocity of the lorry when it reaches 3600 m distance.

Thus, a initial velocity (u) = 0, acceleration a = 3 m/s² and the displacement s is 3600 m. The third equation of motion should be used to determine the final velocity as below.

$2as =v^{2} - u^{2} \\\\v^{2} = 2as + u^{2}$

Then, the final velocity will be

$v^{2} = 2 * 3 * 3600 + 0 = 21600\\ \\v=\sqrt{21600}=146.969 m/s$

Thus, the final velocity of the truck is found as 146.969 m/s.

Energy of fossil fuels is also derieved from solar energy

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Explanation:

All the energy in oil, gas, and coal originally came from the sun, captured through photosynthesis.for example when we burn wood to release energy that trees capture from the sun, we burn fossil fuels to release the energy that ancient plants captured from the sun. We can think of this energy as having been deposited in a natural solar power bank over millions of years.

So, in one sense, gasoline-burning cars, coal-burning power plants, and homes heated by natural gas are all solar powered!
